Walt, you have been gone 1 year ago today, and the Super Bowl is being played today. Isn't that ironic?We miss you and always will, and I know you HAVE to be in Heaven!

Mr.Sweeney I Idolized you in high school 71 thru 75 I was a right guard and my dad an ex player and I studied your technique and every week it delivered.I used to pancake guys like nobodys business thanks to you. My coach even called me Mr. Sweeney.I want you to know that in 2001 I met and married an old friend of yours Donna Jarvis from Lorton Va.I never really believed some of her stories about you guy's until you wrote Off Guard and their she was. What are the odds that I would meet your ex. that many years later. Great book, Donna is doing well, she is very tuff,focused and successful due in part to you I am sure.May the After Life be good to you Sir.Godspeed

My hero!! Grew up in Cohasset and witnessed many of his amazing HS feats, in football, track, and basketball....and his strolling Sandy Beach as a life guard...Walt was truly a talent for the ages and a Hall of Famer in every way. It hurts to know he's gone...along with SallyAnne, Clark, and Eddy.

Dear Rick and Kristin,I met your dad whicle buying his book at the "76", on 12/27/12. We started talking. At one point he mentioned he'd like to come back to the Catholic Church and would I help him. I gave him my card and began to pray about his situation. Little did I know, he'd be meeting God so soon. I beleive his intention to do to Church has been blessed by God.Ginnie Curran

Sweeney Family,I'm sorry for your loss of a good man. I meet MR.Sweeney when i was 9yrs. old. Walt showed me at that age,if you can help some one, do it.After all the year's that went by it was to thank him in person on Oct. 6, 2012 in La Jolla.We'll all be together again in time..P.S. I like how Walt said goodbye to the NFL, on super bowl sunday 2013,(LIGHTS OUT). HA,HA.. R.FARR, San Diego,CA.

I attended Syracuse from 62 to 64 and worked on the athletic training staff. I remember Walt as a giant of a man....along side of Ernie Davis, the first to pass from the era, along with John Mackie and Bo Nance. Some great athletes and nice guys. Sorry for your loss!

Sorry you had to leave so soon, Walter. You were an inspiration to so many of your small-town classmates because you dared to pursue your big dreams. I wish there had been a better chance to know you in those later years. As another friend remarked, there was much more to you than we ever realized. Rest in peace.
